NextImg:Craig Carton’s final WFAN ratings book a dominant showing

WFAN continued to dominate in the New York sports radio ratings battle, which was proven out from morning until night in what was the final book with Craig Carton in afternoons.

The station continues to be led by “Boomer & Gio” in the morning, who were No. 1 in the market with a 14.7 share for the spring book for men 25-54, which is the demographic that the stations’ traditionally sell advertising against and thus grade themselves.

While Boomer Esiason and Greg Giannnotti dominated, ESPN’s new 6-10 a.m. show, featuring Rick DiPietro and Dave Rothenberg, did fine with a 3.7 share, good for 11th in the market.

In afternoons, Carton’s last full book, he and Evan Roberts go out in second place overall with a 7.0 share, while “The Michael Kay Show” was 14th (3.1).

What started as a seesaw battle between Carton and Kay, turned into a blowout as Carton and Roberts won the last 19 months in a row, giving them 84 percent of the monthly head to heads. 

Craig Carton is leaving WFAN with one last ratings book win.

Kay and company will get another shot at Roberts with his new partner, Tiki Barber.

Barber and Roberts will warm-up this summer, but the competition will begin anew in the fall, as Carton moves on to just doing his FS1 morning show full-time.

As for Barber and his current partner, Brandon Tierney, they tied for fourth with a 5.7 share from 10-2 p.m.

The midday combination of “Greeny,” which often doesn’t include Mike Greenberg from 10 a.m. to noon and Bart Scott and Alan Hahn were tied for 14th (2.4) when they were head-to-head with FAN.

With Barber promoted to afternoons, Tierney will be joined by Sal Licata in the fall in middays.

Michael Kay will have a chance to gain in the ratings with Carton headed to Fox Sports.

Meanwhile, “The Warmup Show,” Al Dukes and Jerry Recco was tied for first from 5-6 a.m., which set the stage for FAN to dominate from morning to night in the spring book.
